After they finished eating in the cafeteria, Ouyang Xin told Chen Ning to call him if there was anything, and he had something to do as well. The two of them left the cafeteria and separated. After that, Chen Ning returned to the dormitory.
After cleaning the room, Chen Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate. He had to continue the competition the next day. Chen Ning did not want to waste any more time. He just wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible.
The night quickly passed quietly as he cultivated. The next morning, Chen Ning arrived at the arena. The arena in the field was progressing quickly under the instructions of the vice president. By the afternoon, the top 16 had almost been confirmed. When Chen Ning and the other 15 young men stood in front of the arena, Chen Ning noticed that 14 of them were Mystique Adept Realm. There was also a thin man like Chen Ning. They were both in the Mystical Cultivator Realm, but the thin man was at the Great Perfection of the Mystical Cultivator Realm, only half a step away from becoming a Mystical Master. This thin man had defeated Mystical Master Realm contestants in the previous competitions.
In addition to the thin man, what surprised Chen Ning was that among the 14 people, there were Li Yu's second brother and third sister, Li Fei and Li Yuxin, who had a conflict with Chen Ning in the cafeteria yesterday. Although Chen Ning did not have a fight with the two siblings, Chen Ning had noticed more than once that the two siblings looked at him with a strong sense of provocation.
Chen Ning could not be bothered with the siblings 'provocative looks. In his mind, he could not help but think of the skinny man who had advanced to the top 16 with his own cultivation base. Chen Ning had seen the man's previous battle clearly. He realized that the skinny man's eyes seemed to be very different. It was as if there was a strange magic in them. The freshmen who had fought with him could clearly defeat him a few times. However, when the thin man's eyes covered his opponent, it was as if countless pupils appeared in his eyes, causing his opponent to pause. The few freshmen who fought with him were defeated by him when their bodies paused.
In the end, under the arrangements of the vice president, the final battle was set to be held tomorrow. Today, everyone was allowed to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's competition in their best condition.
After the Vice Principal announced the dismissal, everyone left. Chen Ning left the arena and went to the cafeteria. As she was about to eat her lunch, she caught sight of the skinny man she had noticed on the arena. He was eating alone in an inconspicuous corner of the cafeteria. The man was dressed in simple linen clothes, which looked a little tattered. It was obvious that he was from a commoner's family. Although the thin man was dressed in simple clothes, his thin face revealed a resolute look. He was about the same height as Chen Ning, about 1.78 meters.
Seeing the thin man eating alone, Chen Ning hesitated for a moment before picking up his lunch box and walking straight to the table where the man was sitting. After placing the lunch box gently on the table, Chen Ning looked at the thin man in front of him and smiled."Hello, my name is Chen Ning.”
The thin man paused in his eating and looked up at Chen Ning. His eyes swept across Chen Ning's clothes and he replied coldly,""Haotian." After saying that, she no longer looked at Chen Ning and continued to eat the food in the lunch box.
Chen Ning did not care about Hao Tian's cold tone. He smiled and said,""I just saw Haotian's martial arts competition on the stage. He knocked down opponents stronger than him several times.”
Hearing Chen Ning's praise, Hao Tian continued to eat the food in the lunch box as if he was unmoved. He slowly said,"You're not bad either." However, his tone was not as cold as before. It was obvious that he was also concerned about Chen Ning.
Seeing that Haotian's tone had softened, Chen Ning's heart skipped a beat. He asked again,""I wonder what happened to your eyes, Haotian? During the competition, I saw that the pupils in your eyes were different from ours.”
Hearing Chen Ning's words, Hao Tian stopped eating again. He looked up at Chen Ning calmly. Seeing that Chen Ning was smiling and had no other intentions, he said,""It's nothing. I only realized that my eyes are different in the past two years.”Hao Tian said lightly, as if he did not know what was going on.
Hearing Hao Tian's words, Chen Ning was stunned. He looked at Hao Tian with surprise. Things had changed in the past two years. Chen Ning remembered that he had seen a book in Ouyang Xin's study that described some special races in Xuantian Continent. The book seemed to have recorded that this kind of eye was the awakening of some kind of innate ability. However, this kind of innate ability was not from ancient times. Hao Tian was obviously a commoner. How could he have an innate ability? This made Chen Ning feel a little incredulous.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Hao Tian noticed Chen Ning's expression and could not help but ask Chen Ning expectantly. Hao Tian also wanted to know what was wrong with his eyes. Ever since his pupils became a little different, his friends in the town looked at him strangely. Although he did not say it explicitly, Hao Tian could clearly feel that everyone was estranged from him, as if he was a monster, which made him extremely distressed.
"No, I just remember seeing a description of your eyes in an ancient book. It seems to be some kind of innate ability, but I'm not sure if it's true.”Chen Ning replied honestly when he saw Hao Tian looking at him with anticipation.
Hearing Chen Ning's uncertain words, Hao Tian nodded lightly and said with a somewhat desolate expression,""Thank you. Ever since my eyes changed, my friends have gradually distanced themselves from me. They all look at me like I'm a monster.”As he spoke, Hao Tian's face gradually revealed a painful expression. Although the change in his eyes had increased his strength by a lot, it had also caused his friends to gradually alienate him.
Hearing this, Chen Ning smiled and comforted him,""Haotian, you don't have to be like this. What does it have to do with the world's cold eyes on me? We just have to be ourselves."
Hao Tian nodded. Seeing that Chen Ning didn't look at him differently because of his eyes, a smile slowly appeared on his thin face."I know, Chen Ning. I'm full now. I'll go back to the dormitory first. There's a competition tomorrow.”
Chen Ning smiled and nodded."I hope you can enter the top three in tomorrow's finals.”
Hao Tian had already stood up, and a resolute look appeared on his thin face. His eyes were emitting a vortex-like suction force, and Chen Ning could not help but feel a little shaken. He said firmly,"I will definitely enter the top three, definitely." Obviously, Hao Tian was extremely concerned about the top three rewards and looked determined to get it.
Not long after Hao Tian left, Chen Ning also hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food from his lunch box and left the cafeteria. He returned to his dormitory and sat down cross-legged. He continued to cultivate. He took out two Class 2 Demon Cores from his Space Belt and began to absorb the energy inside. The two Class 2 Demon Cores in Chen Ning's hands were much dimmer than before. When the energy was completely absorbed, they would also turn into ashes.
As the massive energy from the Demon Nucleus entered his body through his arm, Chen Ning skillfully circulated the Azulet Sword Scroll and began to absorb the pure and violent energy. Although Chen Ning was not absolutely confident that he would be the first in tomorrow's battle, he was confident that he could enter the top three. With the Azulet Sword Scroll and the strange ability in his Dantian to absorb the Demon Nucleus for his own use, Chen Ning knew that this was the capital he had to dominate the Xuantian Continent in the future.
The next morning, Chen Ning went to the competition venue after breakfast. Perhaps it was because today was the finals, but the number of people gathered there was obviously more than the previous two days. As Chen Ning stood on the stage and watched the Vice Principal explain the rules, Chen Ning seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head slightly and saw Ouyang Xin trying to push the crowd away and squeeze toward his seat.
When Ouyang Xin saw Chen Ning's eyes on him, he grinned and quickly pushed aside the freshmen in front of him. He patted Chen Ning's shoulder and said,""Chen Ning, you have to work hard today. I didn't expect you to make it into the top 16. I don't expect you to get first place. If you can get into the top three, you can be proud.”To Ouyang Xin, the reward for first place was tempting, but he didn't want Chen Ning to be injured because of his reluctance. Although there were teachers in the competition and there wouldn't be any major casualties, it was very common to get injured in a competition. Therefore, he specially came to remind Chen Ning.
Chen Ning naturally understood what Ouyang Xin meant. She smiled and said,"Don't worry, Brother Ouyang. I'll be careful.”After saying that, he chuckled. Today, Ouyang Xin's group was also in the finals. However, they were not in the top 16 on Chen Ning's side. Instead, they were in the top 8.
"Haha, don't worry, I'll be leaving first.”Ouyang Xin then left and walked towards the stage where the finals would be held.
After Ouyang Xin left, Chen Ning's match soon began. This time, the top eight would be selected from the top 16. Just like before, the opponents would be chosen by drawing lots. Chen Ning immediately went up to the ring like the others and drew a lot.
The first round of the finals was not Chen Ning, but the other two men in the top 16. After the two men had a fierce battle, Chen Ning slowly walked up to the ring. However, when Chen Ning's opponent came up, Chen Ning was stunned because the person who came up was none other than Li Yu's third sister, Li Yuxin, who had a conflict with him in the cafeteria that day.
Today, Li Yuxin was wearing a light green outfit. Although she was one year younger than Chen Ning, she looked like she was only 19 years old. However, her figure was very well developed. Although she didn't have a curvy front and back, she still had a curvy body and a slim body. The tight-fitting outfit made her slim figure look extremely sexy. Coupled with her beautiful face, she would definitely be a great beauty in a few years. However, it might be because she was born in a noble family. However, there was a trace of arrogance in his eyes.
Looking at Li Yuxin, who was like a proud white swan, Chen Ning stood on the stage bare-handed, revealing a subtle smile. The reason why he was bare-handed was that Jason Academy did not allow the use of weapons in the freshmen's entrance competition. Firstly, it was to avoid bloodshed and death. Secondly, it was to test the greatest potential of each freshman. Because in the case of using weapons, the weapons of the commoners and the family were obviously not on the same level. It was unfair. Therefore, all the freshmen were required to fight with their fists and feet. This was also an important reason why Chen Ning could make it into the top 16. In terms of fists and feet, Chen Ning was not inferior to anyone.
When Chen Ning looked at Li Yuxin, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he was still caught by Li Yuxin who was staring at him. He was slightly angry, but he still had a proud and disdainful look on his face."You really do have some mediocre skills. You actually made it into the top 16, which surprised me. However, that's all. Watch me teach you a good lesson today.”Li Yuxin's voice was very pleasant to hear.
Hearing Li Yuxin's words, Chen Ning's face revealed a cold smile. These sons of wealthy families all looked down on others, thinking that the whole world revolved around them.
"Clang!"
A loud bell rang, officially announcing the start of the competition.
The moment the bell rang, Li Yuxin's body instantly moved. She quickly ran towards Chen Ning's position. When she was less than three meters away from Chen Ning, she kicked her feet on the stage and jumped off the ground. She kicked Chen Ning's face. Although Li Yuxin was only 18 or 19 years old, her hand was extraordinary. She was also a level three mystic cultivator.
Facing Li Yuxin's sudden attack, Chen Ning stood still, his face calm. Just as Li Yuxin's kick was about to reach his face, Chen Ning quickly twisted his neck and tilted his head, dodging Li Yuxin's sharp kick.
Li Yuxin's reaction was also very fast. Seeing that her kick did not hit Chen Ning, she clenched her fist in the air and directly punched Chen Ning's nose. As Li Yuxin was a third level Mystical Master, her fist was suffused with a golden Mystical Qi that belonged to Mystical Masters. This punch contained extremely powerful strength. Even if it hit a Mystical Master of the same level, it could also hurt the other party. Li Yuxin obviously did not hold back at all. Whether it was to defeat Chen Ning and advance to the top eight or to teach Chen Ning a lesson, she was not allowed to show mercy.
